Helmet loan

My old shop space was right next to JEM Cycle. One morning I pulled into work to see an ironhead basking in the sun. Come to find out, a customer of JEM had ridden from Rhode Island to source out some parts for the bike that had been passed down to him from his dad. What he didn't source was what the helmet laws were here in MA before he hit the road, arriving in the parking lot with Worcester's finest pulling in right behind him. After some head shaking and "what are you thinking" comments, a warning was issued and the cruiser headed out for more pressing matters.

Long story short, I lent this dude a helmet and he lived up to his handshake and returned it.
